My Craftbarn

Tuesday, August 18, 2015

Hi there sweet friends/ Hej kære venner,
Then it´s again been way too long, since I´ve got anything done inhere, but my summer has been really hectic, so I haven´t had much time to do much crafting, but a little it has been thoug, which I´ll show in the end of this post here.

We´ve had a lot going on here, as I already said, a lot of visitors here all summer, which has been sooo amazing, and then ofcause we´ve also been a lot out and about too. And as many of you know, I have some problems healthwise, which has been playing up quite a bit too, as I´ve probably overdone things here for too long, so now it bite itself in the tail here afterwards, I´m afraid. But never mind, I wouldn´t be without any of it for anything, as I have sooo enjoyed to see so many wonderful friends here, so it´s been all worth it. We had the honor to see a couple of crafty friends here too, which I really really enjoyed. First a dear online friend with her family came by and we had a wonderful time, and then a very dear friend from Norway came by with her kids too and stayed for week, and it was sooo special and wonderful to meet them, as we´ve been friends online for soo many years, so to finally meet in person was such a blast. And ofcause we went a bit around to show them a bit of our small country here, and also spent a whole day in Legoland, as she had her kids with here too. And then we´ve ofcause as always also had all our girls visiting almost all summer too and also our newest little grandson ofcause, who´s already a big boy running around.

So as you can probably understand, it havet been much crafty stuff I´ve got done here, but as I sai, I have done a little, so here´s a few pics of my latest work here in between, but hopefully I´ll soon have some more, now we´re back to normal days here again.

That´s all from me here today, so now I´ll just end this entry by sharing my winner from the Card and Scrap bloghop last month. And the winner was: /

This challenge will run through all of July, and to make everything a bit more fun and festive, we're hosting a bloghop as well this time. And ofcause there´ll also be some extra prizes for such an event, and to be elegible to any of those, there is a couple of things, that needs to be fulfilled first. So here is, what you need to do to be considdered in the drawings:

And now to my entry for the challenge here. I´ve made a summercard with a beachtheme, with papers and stickers from 7Dots. Besides that I´ve used some fishnet, real shells and a bit of bling from my stash, and then I´ve glued some real beachsand on it too.

A little about me

Hi, My name is Maryann. I´m 54 y.o., married with 4 grown kids and 8 grandkids. We live in a very rural area, where the skyes are high and we can hear the birds singing in the morning, and see a fox run over the fields or a phesant walks around in the garden.

I´ve always been a crafter of some kind, but it´s devellopped quite a bit, since I disabled my back some years ago and got on healthretirement back then, so today I´m doing almost any thinkable craft, that´s involving paper or felt. I´m totally addicted to gorgeous paper and beautiful ribbons and bling. And I just love the challenge to make something creative out of all kinds of things, that all other people would throw in the trash. I love special folded cards and boxes and different giftwrapping and always looking out for new giftideas. I find my inspiration everywhere, it can be a book, a picture or something in the TV, or something quite different.

I hope, you´ll enjoy it inhere and I hope, I somehow can be an inspiration for you in your work too, and you´re always welcome to contact me and ask, if you have any questions about anything inhere, and I´ll always be happy to help, if I possibly can.
